Alert: Sports betting is By Far Lowest Volume Gambling Entity

[jjgold]

They are on the bottom, sports betting is not even close to a popular form of gambling in usa compared to horses, lotteries, casinos and stock markets

ask most people if they ever made a sports bet offshore or with a bookie and you will find very few wherever you live

The stock market is not gambling JJ

No

I'd say otherwise. You're blindly for the most part placing money on an entity for a return investment.

They don't know what they are missing.

I'm sure this is true, because casino games, lotteries, scratch offs, and horse betting is legal in almost all states. Sports Betting on the other hand, only Nevada in the US.

The stock market is like betting on teams you know nothing about. Sports betting markets are much more transparent.

Agreed

You can't tell me any fu*ker can actually predict which way the market is going on a consistent basis. It's a crap shoot. Most people shoot for a 10% return in a year. If it was so easy and guaranteed profit, why not more people making a better profit??

That's the biggest problem "opinions"

when orders are sent please bet the damn games

[brxbmbers42]

Scratch offs are out of control. Many people addicted to them.

I've gate wayed so many people into sports betting. Most fans are looking to bet, they just don't know it until they find out that it exists.

Not any n00b like you, but many professionals can.

Oh, and 'picking stocks' and 'predicting which way the market goes' are two different skill sets.

Nobody said it was a guaranteed profit or 'so easy.' Nice strawmen though.

It's true. If general public had easy ways to bet (think ATM machines on the street, wagering options built into espn.com, etc) they definitely would.
